    Khoi Le - An immigrant story from Vietnam. From troublemaker in school to Founder of a company. It is possible!

    Many immigrant kids often believe they have only one path in their lives.  I talked with Khoi Le; founder of ConvoyOP and master coder. He is also a Vietnamese immigrant. He goes deep into his experience as a young child in the U.S. how despite getting in trouble in school he become a developer guru.  Us two troublemakers explored how immigrant children can create an abundant future in fields that are not the traditional path for foreigners and how similar their immigration stories can be, despite my Mexican heritage and Khoi being from the other side of the world.    To contact Martha go to connectwithmartha@gmail.com

    The Power of Heart _ Creator of "Hell@ Latina" Podcast / Odalys Jasmine Garcia Arce

    Odalys’s passion is to share the different sides of different Latinos from all over the world.  It is this reason she began her amazing podcast Hell@ Latina! She sheds light and with her various amazing guests peels the onion of “latinidad” – we are NOT all the same. I have followed Odalys’s journey and I’ve seen her come into her own. She openly speaks about her parent’s immigrant story from Honduras. She speaks about how she felt like an outsider as kid from Honduran background in a primarily Mexican part of the world. How she was homeless and how even her beautiful name “Odalys” was hidden for many years.  Through all of her life she has been observing, her heart taking note details of struggle and at a very young age makes sense of them. Her podcast helps all of us make sense of so much. Enjoy our talk and here is her podcast https://open.spotify.com/episode/7vcyxUhQ2sg7DJGq1XR0LR?si=KV2Ru_UXRte4mfBNiNJp3A Peace and Love everyone.

    Bronwyn blew my mind!!! She sat down with me and we talked about stories, how to nail an interview and how to bomb one too ;-o)  We discuss how to tell a story, how to use them,  we discuss "social currency", we talked about the impact of not feeling good enough. In this chat we talk about what people DON'T talk about but need to.

    Fernando Zeledon - Mi amigo TICO! From Costa Rican Roots to L.A. Teacher, Uber Driver, Tech Pro – All created a bridge that led to the next best thing.

    Fernando’s family came to the U.S.A. from Costa Rica. He speaks to us about how not all immigrants come here in poverty. Some come here to redefine themselves and they are educated. He ended up in L.A. and later became a teacher….just like his abuela. As he speaks to me, I see him jump from one amazing thing to the next and each jump was a BRIDGE and sometimes he created the BRIDGE – even if the bridge came in the form of a blank sign up paper.
